MSFT could only hope they bring something like that to market. Not sure it really matters at this point. MSFT is going after the right market now. They very young. Parents do not like shelling out $500 + so there kid can have an IPhone. Android is still a major player in this space but from what I understand the OS runs badly on the low end hardware the cheap devices offer.

Didi you actually look at the mockups? The styling is much different, no more "chrome" and way more "modern" in design. I mean it's not official but if the rumors going around about iOS7's "major" overhaul are true then these might not be that far off.

I mean yen the graphics are slightly different but basically the same os

Yeah basically the same, but you can't help but think about WP when you look at these concepts. And the thing that bugs me is that should iOS7 look anything like these, people are undoubtedly going to go bat$h!t crazy over Apple's "new" design. And then you'll have the press praising Apple for it's revolutionary "new" take on a mobile OS.
